You know what you sound like right now? Those retarded people who talks about the potential islamophobia that can happen as a result of a horrifying terrorist attack instead of caring about the victims. You’re turning a blind eye towards the victim by doing so and this is utterly idiotic and downright disrespectful.
Pitbull problem will never be fixed unless you can somehow find a way of stopping retards getting big ass dogs because they're "aggressive", i personally can't see how this can be stopped without dog licences or some shit and that just sounds wrong.
I wanna go on record saying the following: Pits are built for hunting and fighting, but almost all of them can be trained. My cousin Maddie actually trains deaf pitbulls too understand sign language, and she has never had one lose shit on her.
That or a small dog that gets eaten by boa constrictors or alligators in the backyard while the family isn't paying attention.
Want to add to this, cats are one of the worse to have around newborns because they are very prone to actually sleeping on them. It is extremely common for a cat to come along and just sleep on a babies head because its warm and its a daft instinctive thing they do with kittens (granted they sleep beside to give warmth, but a human child is a lot bigger so dipshit cat thinks sleeping on top is the best solution) and ends up suffocating the child. Moral is really, never leave a baby unsupervised and never let an animal near them, no matter how domesticated they are. Animals are animals, they're as equally stupid as we are when they don't understand something or someone.
Their jaws are on par with other dog breeds, this is a myth
Exactly, its a stupid idea
Maybe Humane Society or ASPCA or another one of the animal charities could start offering classes on how to properly train and care for larger dog breeds, especially pit bulls? If I remember correctly pit bulls are the most common dog in shelters/pounds. In addition to being proactive about preventing these kinds of incidents, it would probably help with adoption rates.
Different dogs have different bite strengths, that isn't what makes a dog dangerous though. It really has to do with breeding and temperament, if you have a dog that is bred to be aggressive that is dangerous.
Yeah uh I went to go fact check this cat thing and it's just a bullshit myth. The very idea of a cat suffocating a baby in its sleep is some bs from an old wive's tale spun out of an event in Jan. 25, 1791, where a coroner claimed an infant's death was caused by a cat sucking its breath away. I went out of my way to search for documented incidents of cat's doing what you described, and all I found were 4 news articles over the span of 18 years describing an infant's death to be caused by a cat sitting on their face. Even then, it was merely suspicion and not confirmed in any of those cases. In fact in one article the baby was confirmed to have a chest ailment, and various others brought to my attention the existence of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Found it interesting though. While I don't want to say that it's ruled out 100%, the chance of a cat suffocating a baby by sleeping on it is so rare that I don't know why you bothered to bring it up, or even suggest it's one of the worse things to have around newborns in comparison to the hundreds of documented cases of dogs going out of their way to rip up some babies.
Fair enough but I still wouldn't let an animal go near a newborn, I've woken up to having my cat sleeping on my head before so its not so far fetched to think of it. Either way the 2nd part I said still holds.
Also statistically they're pretty fuckin keen on attacking babies for some inexplicable reason
I'd guess that a lot of uninformed and naive pitbull owners leave their dogs with their young unsupervised, either because they believe they're harmless, or they're neglectful, or they don't know the risks, or something in that area. But that's just a guess.
Who trained this pitbull to rip babies apart? What sickos!
These statistics also include dogs that look like but are not Pits. Also that these dogs as a species are most commonly bred for dog fighting, the breed itself is not aggressive. It's that they're cheap and easy to breed. Just so you know.
